If you can't seem to take control of any other part of your day, set a step goal and decide to reach it no matter what.
It's a small achievement but feels so good when you reach it, and even better when you go above and beyond.

๐นChoose a starting goal based on where you're at now.
๐นIf you rarely get anywhere near 10,000 steps then it won't be realistic to set it at that. Set your goal at 6,000 or 8,000 - something achievable and then build it up from there.
๐นIf you usually get 10,000 steps then why not try to challenge yourself to a goal of 12,000 or 15,000?
Step count is often determined by your job. Sedentary workers will always find it more difficult but there really is no valid excuse. There are many ways to increase your step count.
๐ธA walk in the evening time or when you're off work. It doesn't matter what the weather is like or if you have to mind the kids. Dress for the weather and bring the kids with you.
๐ธ Park at the far end of the car park. Whether it's at work or the shops, there are always empty spaces further from the door (a bonus!).
๐ธ Challenge a friend to a daily or weekly step competition.
๐ธ When meeting friends, go for a walk and a coffee instead of sitting down for your catch up.
It's good to be aware of your weekly goal too so that if you don't reach your daily goal, you can make up for it. For example, if your daily goal is 10,000, your weekly one would be 70,000 so it's not the end of the world if you don't meet 10,000 one day as you've still met your target if you reach 70,000 by the end of the week.
Just don't leave all your steps to the last days! Try to keep it as even and consistent as possible.
So let's step it up this week and get moving! ๐
